Valentine's Day is almost here and love is in the air. Unfortunately, many of your wallets did not get the memo. This year, don't let finance get in the way of your romance. It is possible to have a love-filled day and spend nothing. Don't believe me? Here are 14 romantic ways you can enjoy February 14th with your honey and no money...
1) Create an "I love you" box and fill each other's with love notes all day and read them together that night.
2) Dedicate songs to each other on the radio.
3) Give and get a whole body massage.
4) Visit a free museum or art show.
5) Go on a picnic using the food you already have. If it's too cold outside, create an indoor picnic.

7) Have movie-night outside with your laptop.
8) Volunteer together.
9) Write poetry for each other.

GONE WILD

I told you that in 2014 some ladies may just be walking with their "oranges" dangling. See full pix below...

Sadly, our ladies are taking this public show too far!

“Are All Men The Same? A MUST Read For ALL The Ladies…”

Dear ladies, Firstly… If you’re still struggling to find a husband at an old age because you’re looking for a perfect man, something is certainly wrong with you. Now, your propaganda magazine tells you that ‘All men are liars, cheat and useless’, but let’s be honest here, which is more likely, is it there is something wrong with 70 million African men? Or there is something wrong with one African women, YOU? The truth is this, when a product is not doing well, the sales team doesn't blame the customers, they either blame the product or sales and marketing strategy. So ladies, have you being marketing yourself?

Do you think you will be picked out of the shelf and placed in a basket of matrimony if you are always hanging out with coven of witches you call friends? Those ladies who intimidated any man who approaches you? Hmm drinking yourself to stupor every Friday and Saturday night does not exactly makes you looks like a marriage materials. Neither will any product (YOU) do well in the market if the sales team (YOU) reek of desperation. Nagging, whining only tells a man that he is watching a preview of what will be like if he walks down the aisle with you. If your precious EX’s all complained about your nags, get a gag! You want a husband? ….

 Invest in a good wardrobe and dress well. When a man comes to you, smile and be polite even if he doesn't fit to your mental image of your kind of man. At 18, most ladies already have an image of her perfect man,which includes height, body type and wealth. As times goes on, a lady will add more qualities to her list. Such that by the time she is dating for a marriage, not a single man alive can meet her exact standards.

Ladies, stop coming to relationship with a chip on your shoulder. If you believe all men are ‘bad’ all men are Dogs, then it will become a self fulfilling prophesy. No man is perfect, if you want to find a perfect man, you will have to do a Genesis chapter one and make him out of clay, and breathe life to him. And even then, chances are, he may still disappoint. You say you can’t marry a blue collar guy like a mechanic or carpenter, now if a carpenter was good enough to marry Mary mother of the Jesus Christ, why isn't one good enough for you? Do not focus on where a man is now, but look and see where he has the potentials to be.

Don’t focus on some petty physical features that are not up to your Mexican soap-opera standards. Hmm your dream man, will he be faithful? Will he be a good father to your kids and a good husband to you? Will he love, cherish and respect you? What the point of being beaten to a pulp every night by some rich, good looking and womanizer jerk? Do you want a future where you will sit in traffic in your BMW X6, GUCCI sun glasses covering your swollen eyes and you look out of window and see a happy couple in 1972 Old Crab Non-silencer Volks Wagen holding hands, laughing and giggling like new wedded couple even after 12years of marriage.

I believe wherever you are, its full of good men, you’re just so caught up day dreaming about your fantasy man that they are passing unnoticed before your very eyes. Don’t be cynical, fussy and uptight. Improve your product, and how it’s marketed and demand for it will grow through the roof. And remember you're e competing in a modern African market. Don’ t fake pregnancy or get pregnant to trap him, that doesn’t works anymore! Your perfect man is out there, he may not look like what you want or expect, but if you give him a chance, the two of you will find joy, companionship and completion like you have never thought possible. Everybody can love a rose but it takes a great heart to include the thorns.
Wish you the best in your quest for a life partner.

Yours Sincerely

A night of serene music, with food is equally perfect. Make it an unforgettable Vals date night.

3 Nigerians Make Forbes List Of 10 Most Powerful Men In Africa

One of the biggest men of God in Nigeria, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, the General Overseer and Founder of House on the Rock Church, is livid at Forbes Magazine for not listing him in the list of richest Nigerian pastors and has boasted that ‘he is a billionaire and there is nothing anyone can do about that.’
Forbes had recently released a list of rich pastors in Africa and listed the top five from Nigeria going by their personal fortunes and their net estimate worth, with the likes of Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith World Outreach, (Winners Chapel), coming tops with an estimated $150 million, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, Believer’s Love World Ministry, (Christ Embassy), $50 Million, Prophet Temitope Joshua, Synagogue Church of All Nation, (SCOAN) $15 Million, Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo, Kingsway International Christian Centre, (KICC), $10 Million and Rev. Chris Okotie, Household of God Church, with an estimated net worth of $10 Million.
That list and his non-inclusion has drawn the ire of Pastor Adefarasin who is reported to have reacted angrily and said:
“I am a billionaire and there is nothing anybody can do about it. I have coached many billionaires and, you know, the pastor of billionaires is a billionaire.
“I am a preacher. I am a motivational speaker. I am a TV personality. I am a life coach.
“You can criticize me or slander me in the pages of newspapers but the blessings are in me and there is nothing anyone can do about it,” the man of God bragged at a service in his church.

Reality stars and fashion moguls, Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian covered the February edition of Notebook magazine.
The Kardashian sisters rocked the monochrome trend sporting looks from their fast growing fashion brand; Kardashian Kollection.
Kourtney was classy and chic in black and white; rocking a white top with eye catching black lapel over a black bottom. Kim was all curvy in a black lacy top and white bottom with a belt cinching her waist stressing her ultimate hourglass shape while Khloe was demure in white with a black belt defining her waist; her recent work-out and weight loss was obvious as she looked stunning!
This cover was classy and devoid of the Kardashian clan drama; one of the best simple covers they've been on so far, we are guessing momager; Kris Jenner is back to making positive PR for the brand(name) that is 'Kardashian'
Do you like their looks? What would you change or not? By all means share with us guys!

While Kim Kardashian is scrambling for a spot on Vogue Magazine, Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour just can't get enough of pop star Rihanna and her very dynamic fashion style for the March 2014 issue of the top class fashion mag. It’s a recorded third time the singer is gracing the prestigious cover.
Rihanna surprisingly skipped the skimpy clothing which usually exposes her boob, butt and tattoos to appear more chic, young and covered up! RiRi rocked the shoot looking fresh, elegant and as typical, edgy but no one is complaining.
The Caribbean queen goes back to the cute pixie cut seen in her November 2012 spread. Meanwhile, Vogue instead focused on giving her a look that ranged from casual chic to night on the town girl.

Big Boobs Strippers Are His Favourite! Blonde stripper Bieber used as his chew toy eventually shows up!

  Boobs Party: Justin Bieber & Lil Za sucking stripper boobs in L.A

Justin Bieber can't get enough of weed, alcohol and now bigger boobs!
The hot blond stripper the singer was photographed chewing her nipples weeks ago, has eventually popped up on the internet and contrary to people saying she's old enough to be Biebs mom, she’s actually young, cute and called Karolina.
According to gossip site TMZ, "26-year-old Karolina began working as a stripper  in Vegas very recently after moving from Chicago and when Bieber quietly visited Sin City back in January (before his DUI Arrest) he handpicked the bunny-tatted dancer to come back to his hotel room.”
Reports claim that as soon as the group arrived the room that night, the girls' phones were confiscated and they were each asked to sign one of Bieber's famous confidentiality agreements, barring them from talking about what transpired that night.

Meanwhile, the owner of the now famous photo has debunked the fact that the pic was snapped inside an L.A. recording studio, but claims it was actually taken inside Bieber's Vegas penthouse and Karolina voluntarily posed for the boob photo.

Bieber and his entourage including close friend Lil Za reportedly hand-picked the blonde and two other dancers to come back to the hotel room for private dances and the 19 year old singer, as usual, reportedly paid each of them thousands of dollars in cash.
